$ stty size
33 80
$ info info
[hit spacebar six times, arriving at "1.2 How to use Info"]

The cursor is now in the middle of the screen, the top of the screen 
starts with "This is line 51".  Whereas I'd expect the cursor to be 
at the bottom, and the screen to start with "This is line 36".

This is using texinfo-4.8 together with your patch.  Maybe CVS behaves
differently?  (CVS doesn't want to build here, ./autogen.sh fails with:
configure:5762: error: possibly undefined macro: gl_CHECK_NEXT_HEADERS
configure:8012: error: possibly undefined macro: gl_MALLOCA)
